That WAS a terrific episode. All the characters flaws came together and the payoff at the end with The Mother almost made me tear up (I'm such a sap!). I hope the rest of the season can live up to that.

Oh, and that bit about nibbling the chocolate on the brother's cake was all kinds of wrong.

I decided to venture over to "The Land that Time Forgot" or in other words, the IMDB message boards, to see what folks are saying about the premier:

People are still complaining about the new format, which is fine I suppose. Though after tonight I can see how it will work (for me, at least).

One complain was hilarious though...saying that it will annoy him with all the continuity errors that will pop up between episodes now since they're all meant to take place at the same time (hair styles changing, clothes changing, etc.).

It was nice to have a scene with Ted and the Mother in the future. Hope they do more of that before showing them actually meeting, esp. if the meeting is later in the season.

Episode titles don't really count for spoilers, but they released the name of the 16th episode (200th overall in the show) and it is titled "How Your Mother Met Me". It's reasonable to assume that's when it finally happens.

I like how the mother remains nameless... I wonder how long they can keep this up.

Man, I absolutely love the Mother. Her scenes with Lily were utterly fantastic, as was the glimpse into the future with Ted. Fantastic bit of casting, feels like she's been part of the group all along.

Perfect episode. I really liked seeing them together finally. I wonder if Ted is going to ask her to marry him during that trip one year from now. I'm really interested in what happened when Ted went to see Stella. I've always been baffled how Stella and her husband left Ted the final time happy with him that he helped them get back together, and then the next thing you know The Wedding Bride comes out portraying Ted as a horrible jerk and the cause of all their problems. Maybe that will be addressed if we see Stella again.

While this is all speculation at this point, I read a rumor that the episode "How your Mother Met Me" will show certain situations from past episodes from the mother's perspectives: Ted being at her apartment, Ted "accidentally" teaching her class...actually that's all I can remember.
